L4 Cellular Cooperation and Cytokines - Hudig Flashcards
Where do you find MHC I?
all cells except red blood cells
What is the three step process for MHCI presentation?
cytoplasmic tagging (ubiquitin), degradation and presentation
T/F: both MHCI and MHCII present self peptides all the time even without infection
true
From what cellular compartment does MHC I get its proteins?
cytosol, that’s where viruses make their proteins
After ubiquitinating viral proteins and unfolding them, what size does the proteasome cleave them into?
8-11 aa’s
(blank) transports the proteins from the cytosol post-proteasome into the ER
TAP: transporter of antigenic peptides
Where is the Ag loaded onto the MHC I?
in the ER
Where does the AG-MHCI complex go after the ER?
to the Golgi
The golgi produces a (blank) vesicle which fuses with the PM to display the Ag-MHCI
exocytic vesicle
What size must proteins be to present on MHC II?
20-30 aa’s long
Where do you find MHC II cells
APCs, B Cells and endothelial cells
What cells types only express MHCII after induction?
B cells and endothelial cells
What is the main source of Ag for MHCII?
extracellular proteins
What is the three step process for Ag presentation on MHCII?
ingestion, degradation, and presentation
Bacterium, virus, or proteins are ingested into the (blank)
endosome
endosome fuses with the (blank) to form the phagolysosome
lysosome
T/F: extracellular virions are also presented on mHCII
true
where are the MHCII proteins made?
in the ER
Wher is the Ag-MHCII complex formed?
lysosome-golgi vesicle fusion
Describe the process of loading Ag onto MHCII ?
MHCII made in ER
MHC transported to golgi, packaged into exocytic vesicle
Lysosome containing degraded protein fuses with vesicle and forms Ag-MHCII complex
which T cell class is used to control chronic viral infections?
CD8
What must CTLs do before they can kill?
divide
What is the reason that T cells only recognize proteins?
only living things produce proteins; 4 nucleic acids have more variability than sugar; 20 aa’s give more ability to distinguish between self and nonself
What are the APCs of the skin?
Langerhan’s cells
